Supply Chain

Leveraging Shift Left and Shift Right for End-To-End Application Security

Despite organizations’ best efforts, security threats are on the rise, with malicious actors continuously evolving their tactics. Unfortunately, the situation is only intensifying as hackers from all walks of life leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques. To combat these threats, security teams need to implement gates and controls throughout their entire software development lifecycle.

Defending Against Supply Chain Spoofing in Critical Manufacturing

Supply chain attacks are a serious and growing threat to businesses across all industries. However, these attacks pose an even greater risk for manufacturers in critical infrastructure sectors. One pernicious form of supply chain attack is spoofing, where attackers impersonate legitimate suppliers to sneak malicious code or components into products. Research shows that 2023 had the highest number (2769 in the US alone) of entities affected by supply chain spoofing.

Preventing Magecart Attacks Through Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

The digital supply chain refers to the chain of third-party digital tools, services and infrastructure that is depended on for a particular first-party service (such as your website or SaaS platform). In an ever-changing digital landscape, supply chains can be brittle with many unseen risks. The nature of supply chain risk is transitive; any part of the often long and complicated digital supply chain can be compromised, causing all components downstream of it to also be compromised.

Securing the Supply Chain - Automating our Way Out of Security Whack-a-Mole

Open-source components forever changed how we build software, but they are also a prominent security threat, nothing illustrated this better than the recent XZ library incident where the world narrowly avoided a massive supply chain attack. Join Gene Gotimer and Mackenzie Jackson to discuss how we can keep our open-source supply chains secure as we discuss: Security implications of vulnerable open-source components How using automation can help us move toward a secure supply chain How to discover and detect vulnerable components.

When and How to Create a Software Bills of Materials (SBOM)

A Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) inventories all of the open source components and other third-party libraries within a codebase. Much like IKEA instructions explain which parts are included in the package for your new furniture, an SBOM describes all of the third party components in your codebase. Most SBOMs contain the following information about the make-up of an application: Security vulnerabilities: a key use case for SBOM is understanding the security risks of third party components.

Supply Chain Cybersecurity - the importance of everyone

I’m always surprised – and a little disappointed – at how far we have to go before supply chain cybersecurity gets the respect and attention it deserves. I sat down this week with a new client who wanted some help addressing several internal issues surrounding their IT systems. When I asked them about their relationship with the supplier – essentially, how was their supply chain cybersecurity? - their response was not only worrying but, unfortunately, quite typical.

Championing Supply Chain Cybersecurity Amid Evolving Regulations-A New CISO Imperative

Supply chain cybersecurity and resilience have become pivotal across various cyber regulations, most notably NIS2 and DORA. In this blog, stemming from our latest ebook '5 Proven Strategies to Maximize Supply Chain Cyber Risk Management’, we will explore the reasons why resilience is a new mandate for CISOs today and, most importantly, how to secure the supply chain at scale—in line with evolving regulatory requirements.

Many industries could benefit from the advantages of blockchain

Blockchain technology has been a subject of discussion for some quite already but now has begun to be used in several industries, as it brings plenty of advantages. The widespread use of blockchain has happened due to the extraordinary features that can potentially solve numerous complications businesses face in their operations.

Beyond Sisense: Navigating the Rising Tide of Supply Chain Attacks

Threat actors looking to maximize the amount of money they can make and chaos they can cause have once again chosen the supply chain as their target of attack. On Thursday, April 11, the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Agency (CISA) warned customers of Sisense, a company that provides data analytics services to thousands of international companies, that they should reset their credentials for Sisense services and look out for suspicious activity involving their services.

Securing the software supply chain with Black Duck Supply Chain Edition

Each year, our "Open Source Security and Risk Analysis” (OSSRA) report highlights the fact that open source software (OSS) plays a critical and substantial role in modern application development, and it is therefore foundational to the software supply chain. The prevalence of OSS within commercial applications makes it difficult to track, and that makes it difficult to manage the risk that it may introduce.
